11 best mixers for scotch whisky
Mixers for Scotch whisky, often referred to as Scotch whisky mixers or whisky cocktails, are beverages made by combining Scotch whisky with other ingredients to create a more complex and enjoyable drinking experience. While many whisky enthusiasts prefer to enjoy Scotch neat (without any mixers), there are several classic and popular whisky cocktails that incorporate mixers. Here are some of them:
Scotch and Soda: A simple and classic highball cocktail made by mixing Scotch whisky with soda water. It's typically served over ice and garnished with a twist of lemon or lime. This cocktail allows the whisky's flavors to shine while adding a refreshing effervescence.
Scotch and Ginger Ale: This combination pairs Scotch whisky with ginger ale. The ginger ale adds a sweet and slightly spicy kick to the whisky, creating a balanced and flavorful drink. It's often garnished with a lime wedge.
Whisky Sour: A timeless cocktail made by mixing Scotch whisky, lemon juice, and simple syrup (a sweet syrup made from sugar and water). It's shaken with ice and strained into a glass, typically garnished with a cherry or a slice of orange and a maraschino cherry.
Rob Roy: This cocktail is a Scotch whisky version of the classic Manhattan. It combines Scotch whisky, sweet vermouth, and a dash of bitters.It's stirred with ice and strained into a chilled cocktail glass, often garnished with a cherry.
Rusty Nail: A straightforward cocktail made by mixing Scotch whisky with Drambuie, a honey and herb-flavored liqueur. It's typically served on the rocks in an Old Fashioned glass and can be garnished with a lemon twist.
Blood and Sand: A unique and flavorful cocktail made by combining Scotch whisky, sweet vermouth, orange juice, and cherry brandy. It's shaken with ice and strained into a cocktail glass, often garnished with an orange twist.
Highball Variations: Scotch whisky can also be mixed with various fruit juices and soda, such as apple juice, cranberry juice, or cola, to create highball cocktails with different flavor profiles.
Mint Julep: While traditionally made with bourbon, a Mint Julep can also be prepared with Scotch whisky. It includes muddled mint leaves, sugar, and crushed ice, making it a refreshing and herbaceous choice.
Penicillin: A modern Scotch whisky cocktail that combines whisky with honey-ginger syrup, lemon juice, and a smoky Scotch float on top. It's a complex and well-balanced cocktail with sweet, spicy, and smoky notes.
When mixing Scotch whisky with other ingredients, it's essential to use a whisky that complements the flavors of the mixers. The choice of whisky, the quality of ingredients, and the proportions can greatly influence the taste of the cocktail. Scotch whisky mixers offer a wide range of flavor profiles and experiences, catering to various palates and preferences.

Product description
Champagne, brandy, and wine each have their own type of glass, yet whisky, the worlds most complex spirit, can be found served in anything from hi-ball tumblers to Paris goblets. Raymond Davidson decided it was about time someone designed a proper whisky glass, a single definitive glass that the whiskey world could call its own. Following in the tradition of Scottish innovation, the Glencairn glass has arrived with roots in the traditional nosing and tasting glasses used by master blenders and connoisseurs around the world.
Combining the knowledge and expertise of some of the whisky world's leading innovators, the unique and stylish shape of these glasses has been crafted with eminent care to enhance the enjoyment of single malts and aged blends. They have been designed specifically for Canadian whiskys, and employ a wide bowl for the fullest appreciation of the whisky's color. Additionally, this set of two whisky glasses have solid bases that are designed to be easy on the hand.
3-1/3" diameter x 4" H, with an 11.75 ounce capacity
- Specifically designed for Canadian whisky
- Wide bowl for the fullest appreciation of color

User questions & answers
Question: | Is this crystal or glass and is it lead-free |
Answer: | Yes It will work in the holder. Try to put it in a potition like riding a bike to make it more accessible. I have mine right under my high hats. |
Question: | cant be shipped to Canada |
Answer: | It depends on the electronics you have in your electric violin. Some electronics require steel core strings to function best. Obligato do not have a steel core (except the E, of course). Check with the manufacturer of your instrument to be sure of the string type requirement. |

Question: | will these fit the 2.5" Ice ball in the top |
Answer: | Theoretically yes. HOWEVER, you will likely damage the integrity of the loop in the process. I don't know if a tailpiece that would support such a need though unless you have a hill fine tuner on each string |

User questions & answers
Question: | What size is the opening where the glasses are stored? I have some small martini glasses I'd like to use |
Answer: | If your car have 6x5. & 6x9, speakers already in there. I had to custom cut my opening in my truck for them to fit. You can put in the make of car truck. You have on Amazon. It will tell you if they will fit your vehicle |
Question: | Are the “glasses” made of glass ( breakable) or a unbreakable polymer like marine style glassware |

Answer: | I brought these for my ford explorer. So I don't know if they'll fit your 2016 Camry. |
Question: | Clasps seem to be a huge problem. Anything to remedy this complaint |
Answer: | I'm not sure,,, what I did was,,, enter my vehicle make,,, model,,, and year,,, afterwards,,, started my search for speakers. The rear 6" x 9" speakers works for my Monti but the 6" front speakers did not. |

Chill your drinks more efficiently with the help of the King Cube Ice Mold Tray from Tovolo. Large 2-inch cubes chill drinks with minimal dilution, which is perfect for spirit-forward cocktails, iced coffee, soda, and more. The food-grade silicone makes it easy to pop out as many cubes as you need while leaving the others securely in place. The silicone trays are a perfect addition to a home bar or at-home cocktail, whiskey, bourbon, or Scotch enthusiast. Freeze berries, citrus zest, lemon or lime juice, or herbs into the cubes for additional flavor fusion. In addition to ice, these trays can hold leftover sauces, baby food, coffee, tea, juice, or fruit to create single serving sizes. Store your leftovers and use them to create smoothies, to infuse flavor into your dishes, or to preserve your baby’s food until a later feeding. Silicone trays are dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning. For the best results, rinse occasionally with a solution of water and vinegar to disinfect. If ice is difficult to remove, run the mold under warm water until ice loosens. BPA-free and food-safe
- CREATE IMPRESSIVE ICE: Trays create extra-large 2-inch cubes. The cubes’ impressive size help ice melt slowly. The durable food-grade silicone allows easy removal of one or two cubes at a time, so you can enjoy your drinks with as much ice as you want
- PERFECT BARWARE: Slow-melting ice prevents dilution, which is perfect for whiskey, bourbon, Scotch, Old Fashioned, and other liquor-heavy cocktails. Large cubes also create a memorable drink experience for guests. Freeze herbs, citrus slices, or berries in the ice for additional flavor infusion. Add to bar drinks, pitchers, punch, or other beverages for long-term chilling power

- DIMENSIONS: 6.25" L X 4.5" W x 2" H and creates 6 extra-large 2" square cubes. BPA-free and food-safe for safe freezing
User questions & answers
Question: | I am having a really difficult time removing the cube, anyone else have this issue? What's the trick? Thanks |
Answer: | There really isn't any trick to removing the cubes but because the tray is made out of a rubbery substance, you should be able to bend the cube out of the tray. |
Question: | are these 100% silicon |
Answer: | Yes, these are 100% food grade silicone. |
Question: | How many oz is each cube compartment |
Answer: | Each compartment holds approximately FOUR ounces. |
Question: | Why does my ice cube tray smell like chemicals? And why does it make the ice cubes smell/taste unnatural |
Answer: | According to the NY Times cooking, bake the tray in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about an hour. The smell/taste is being absorbed into the silicone and this should remove the smell/taste. THIS ONLY WORKS FOR SILICONE, NOT RUBBER -WHICH WILL MELT/BURN. |

Essential Mixology:
Watching a well-heeled bartender shake and stir at the same time as she takes drink orders and cashes out tabs can be like watching a ballet. But, as you don’t have to be a ballerina to shake your groove thing, you don’t need to be able to double shake to mix up a delicious drink. Take your time and practice your skills. We’ll provide tips below, and if you just aren’t getting it, there’s always YouTube, or ask your favorite local bar star for advice—most love to teach this stuff.
Shaking - When mixing with a Boston shaker, combine your ingredients in your mixing glass, fill the glass 3/4 full with ice, place the shaker tin squarely on top and give the bottom of the inverted tin a solid tap. Flip your shaker around so the bottom of the shaker tin faces forward and the top of the mixing glass faces behind you and shake vigorously.
Dilution is key to your drink’s quality, so go for it, shaking less like you’re rocking a baby to sleep, more like you’re waking a petulant teenager up.
Dry shaking - this is a technique that will save the day (or at least your biceps) when making drinks with eggs or cream. Combine all your ingredients without ice in a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for 10 seconds or so, allowing the ingredients to emulsify. Add ice and shake like your life depends on it to achieve a gorgeous, Instagram- worthy frothy top.
Stirring - This technique takes a little practice but can be quite meditative once you get the hang of it. Combine ingredients and a whole lot of ice in your mixing glass, then slide your spoon down with the back of the spoon-side against the inside of the glass. Hold the handle as you would a pencil, relax your hand, and circulate the back of the spoon around the inside of the glass. Think politely assertive rather than aggressive with your stir - the goal is to gently dilute the ice leaving your cocktail silky and smooth. Too much activity will give your drink air bubbles, which means you might as well have just shaken it in the first place.
Straining - place your strainer over the top of your glass and gently tip the contents into your desired drinking vessel. The Hawthorne strainer should fit snugly over your shaker tin, and you can steady it in place with first- and middle- finger on the strainer while the thumb and last two fingers hold the shaker tin firmly. Technique with the julep strainer will be similar, provided your strainer fits your mixing glass. Place it concave-side down over the mixing glass and strain.
Muddling - muddling is all about getting the fresh juices or oils of your ingredients to blend your cocktail. Use the Mojito and the Caipirinha as your rules of thumb: For a drink such as a Mojito, which contains the delicate herb mint, just give a little press with some of the liquid that’s called for in your recipe, to express the oils but leave the bitter stem intact. For the Caipirinha, which features lime wedges, you’ll need to put a little muscle into your muddle. Know your own strength, lest you break your mixing glass and waste your perfectly delicious cocktail.
Shake cocktails made with mixing glass and waste your perfectly delicious cocktail. citrus and eggs. Stir cocktails made with spirits, and liqueurs. James Bond had it all wrong. We can only hope, in our lifetime, for a female 007 to correct this egregious error.
Jovita Idar
Jovita was born in Laredo, Texas in 1885 to an activist father Nicasio Idar and publisher of La Crónica, a newspaper addressing political, educational, socio-economic issues for Mexican-Americans. Jovita’s father formed the first Congreso Mexicanista (Mexican Congress) civil rights organization in 1911, a response to the racially motivated lynching of a teenager by a mob that included Texas Rangers. Jovita formed the auxiliary La Liga Feminil Mexicanista (Mexican Feminist League), the first Mexican-American women’s political organization with the slogan 'educate a woman and you educate a family.'
After the 1913 Battle of Laredo, Jovita crossed the border to Nuevo Laredo in Northern Mexico to work as a nurse. There she bore witness to atrocities committed against Mexican immigrants by Texas Rangers, and the U.S. government’s active role in the Mexican Revolution.
After returning to Laredo she joined the paper El Progreso and wielded the pen as her sword, writing eyewitness exposes of the situation that criticized President Woodrow Wilson.
Her 1914 editorial on the Tampico Affair raised his ire so much, Texas Rangers were sent to shut El Progreso down, only to be met at the door by a defiant Jovita Idar who refused to yield her ground. They returned the following day with sledgehammers, damaging supplies and machinery beyond recovery.
Jovita ran La Crónica after her father died in 1914, and went on to establish a free bilingual kindergarten, found the first Democratic Party-related political group for Mexican-Americans in Texas, and promote social justice. She died in 1946 leaving an incredible legacy of service.
LA CUMBRE
This strong Tequila cocktail is a fitting toast to Jovita Idar, a woman unafraid of the President and steadfast in her commitments to her ideals and her community.
Stir the Tequila, Cointreau, Maple Syrup and Bitters with ice. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Express the oil from an orange swath and garnish with grated nutmeg.

User questions & answers
Question: | Where are the measuring marks |
Answer: | I think they are what they term as "crystal glass". Real crystal has 24% or more lead in it. Crystal glass has less than 24% lead. There are also makers of "lead free" crystal but I would think the glass would be costly.I would lean more toward "glass" for this one if it has no lead. You can check for sure by e-mailing the Glencairn Whiskey Glass Co. Either way it doesn't matter, I have both the Canadian Whiskey Glass and the Glencairn Glass for my Bourbons. They both work well to bring out the aroma and taste. You can't go wrong. |
